• Key differentiators of a proposal

• Clear and realistic intention to

commercialise. Few companies

included a good business plan

(mandatory for applications). The

requirement was sometimes

misunderstood.

• Innovation from the end-user point of

view. Scientific/technical progress

alone is not enough.

• Consortium with a track record of

successful innovation and access to

the target market.

Proposals below threshold on each criterion (%)

How did these consortia stand out from the crowd?

• In the 1st call, key differentiators of proposals were:• Clear plan for commercialising research results

• Innovative concept with clear public and end-user benefits

• Consortium with good market access and/or innovation track record

• These differentiators should clearly be highlighted in the proposal. Proposals should be clear, concise and concrete.

• Newcomers to GNSS and FP are welcome

• Read carefully all documentation. Contact GSA/EC if in doubt on any of the requirements

• Start early enough, consortium building and proposal writing takes time.

topics related to applications

• Detailed topic descriptions

applications

18

18

Topics have similar requirements for overall project

objectives

• The application shall be targeted to the specific scope of the topic. The emphasis is on applications with a social and public dimension or with a high level of innovation.

• The project should result in the development of an application or a part of an application that can be integrated rapidly in an existing application. GNSS should be used as the primary positioning technology in the application and positioning should be a key enabler of the application.

• The consortium should have a clear intention to commercialise the project results as demonstrated by a realistic business plan. This can include commercialisation towards public authorities and governmental users.

• The application should be innovative. The project should conduct research that goes beyond the current state of the art or apply available technology in an innovative way. The latter could mean the application of technologies such as EGNOS or EDAS to new markets for these technologies, to new applications within existing markets or in support of new business models.

• The project should contribute to the adoption of Galileo, EGNOS or EDAS e.g., early Galileo signals are used, EGNOS or EDAS technologies are applied in new ways, the application facilitates wide adoption of EGNOS, the application leads to an increased understanding of the market or user requirements in fields that are particularly relevant for Galileo, the project contributes to the identification and resolution of obstacles for the adoption of Galileo and EGNOS.

23

Road telematics

• TOPIC GALILEO.2008.1.1.1 (b) Use of EGNOS Services for Mass Market: Road Telematics

• Scope: road telematics applications, i.e., applications for road vehicles that combine technologies like mobile telecommunications, information technology, positioning, possibly GIS and on-board sensors including ADAS. Avoid Road User Charging.

• Emphasis on applications generating public benefits e.g.,

• increase the safety of citizens,

• reduce pollution,

• protect the environment,

• promote inclusion and social welfare

• increase the efficiency of public services

• support the implementation of public policies.Note: some confusion in

the topic description

document, high precision

use is not a requirement

24

24

Road telematics

• Background

• Road currently largest GNSS market and strategic market for

Galileo and EGNOS

• While navigation market is showing signs of saturation, many

opportunities in other areas e.g., road safety

• 1st call focussed on Road User Charging

• Changes versus 1st call

• Focus on applications generating public benefits

• More flexibility in budget

25

25

Innovative applications targeted to SMEs

• TOPIC GALILEO.2008.1.1.1 (a) Use of EGNOS Services for Mass Market: Innovative applications targeted to SMEs

• Scope: innovative GNSS applications, not limited to specific segments

• Targeted towards SMEs, universities and research institutions• Coordinator has to be an SME, a university or a research

institution

• Other participants should also be SMEs, universities and research institutions

• Any exceptions need to be justified: significant contribution + SME alternative hard to find

26

26

Professional applications: fleet management and logistics

applications

• TOPIC GALILEO – 2008- 1.2.1. Use of EGNOS for professional applications: fleet management and logistics applications

• Scope: fleet management and logistics applications

• Example areas:• Asset tracking e.g. tracking of vehicles, containers, livestock, dangerous goods

• Multi-modal transport e.g., containers and parcel tracking

• Fleet management e.g., dynamic routing, remote vehicle diagnostics

• Background• Topic not addressed in 1st call

• Opportunity to prove EGNOS in fast evolving regulated and unregulated markets: fleet management growing rapidly, new legislation on dangerous goods/livestock leading to GNSS related efforts in these markets, public concern on bus passenger safety

• Building on FP6 results (MENTORE)

• Capturing EGNOS benefits in logistics may require further technology developments

27

27

Professional applications: High precision applications

including agriculture

• TOPIC GALILEO – 2008- 1.2.1. Use of EGNOS for professional applications: High precision applications including agriculture

• Scope: high precision applications

• Example areas:• Agriculture applications such as: CAP reporting, yield management, vehicle guidance, seeding

• Other high precision applications in the fields of surveying and mapping, construction and engineering, oil and gas

• Background• Topic not addressed in 1st call

• High precision in general is a key market for both EGNOS and Galileo. It has significant commercial potential and high visibility and symbolic importance. EGNOS OS, EDAS and Galileo OS, CS are all expected to play an important role in this market.

• Despite its potential EGNOS still under-used and requires some technological developments and demonstrations to take off in this sector.

• We expect innovations that will make high precision more affordable based on EGNOS/Galileo OS and/or applications that increase performance based on EDAS/Galileo CS.

• We expect applications to use EGNOS and/or early Galileo signals

28

28

Scientific applications

• TOPIC GALILEO – 2008.1.3.1: Galileo and EGNOS for scientific applications

• Scope• GNSS applications targeted to the scientific community

• GNSS applications with a very high degree of scientific innovation

• Specific points• While GNSS signals should be used, positioning information does not have to be used per se

• Importance of using EGNOS and early Galileo signals

• The ultimate intention to commercialise is still important, however some requirements have been relaxed vs. other topics (e.g., business plan)

• Examples• Earth/environmental observation, combining GNSS and GMES;

• Socio-demographic research applications based on GNSS positioning;

• New approaches for weather forecasting e.g., new ways of using GNSS signals to measure atmospheric conditions;

• New fields of applications for EGNOS e.g., application of EGNOS integrity beyond aviation;

• New fields of applications for EDAS e.g., innovative use of RIMS observations available in EDAS datastream.

• Background• Topic not addressed in 1st call

• Projects like FP6 GEO6 and ESA GNSS evolutions demonstrate that GNSS signals can be used in novel ways

29

29

Social LBS

• TOPIC GALILEO – 2008-1.7.1. LBS : Applications with social/public dimension

• Scope: • applications for users of mobile phone and/or specific portable handsets that are based on their geographic

position

• Applications with an emphasis on generating public benefits

• Example areas • Personal safety related e.g., emergency help, patient tracking, emergency call including eCall and e112;

• Environment related e.g., carbon footprint advisory service;

• Inclusion and social welfare e.g., assistance to visually impaired people;

• Public services e.g., humanitarian aid, law enforcement

• Background• LBS is most important sector by volume and 2nd by value

• Commercial applications are already taking off and have been addressed in the first call. For social applications public support is needed

• Capturing EGNOS benefits in LBS requires specific further technological developments (including user environment adoption)
